If you have high-pH soils on your farm, there are steps you can take in both the short and long-term to lower those pH levels.

Watched 10+ videos about ph balance in soil, this video was by far the most educational and complete. Now I understand what ph balances are. My only complaint is, I wish I watched this video 1st.

Exactly, this is one of the only videos I found after extensive searching that dived into the actual cause of alkaline soil

@@Counter-Intuitive the issue is usually the irrigation water and the fact that we are irrigating with salt laden water in the first place. They also dont mention that leaching all the salts out of the ground causes ecological damage to water bodies. If you're just a gardener, the best thing to do is plant a lot of natives and build soil. Make permaculture. It is much better for the environment. There are a few good soil documentaries that explain all of this, but adding organic matter to the soil is key. That and the fact that rainwater is almost zero TDS is why nature is able to grow things for millions of years without the soil becoming salty. There are many edible and beautiful native plants you can grow.

thanks I had a hunch about the sulfur in the milorganite was causing my soil PH to become acidic...

brassicas fix Ca/Mg at higher rates than other veggies -- on a much smaller scale, would radish/cabbage (assuming you have the nitrogen) help lower phs?

I do not have drainage problem but have all the same rest. I sorted cropping out with high amounts of organic matter incorporated along with high populations of subsoil microbes. No chemicals involved. Very easy and cost effective.

OM and microbes buffer the ph. Irrigation water is ph8

Make your own vinegar which will have a lower pH than store bought vinegar. Make at least 10,000 liters at a time and VENTURI this into your main irrigation pipes. Repeat several times as the vinegar matures. This is the organic way to do it. SUFUR and bacteria do not go together well.
